RSS Panglima underway in the Singapore Strait
- ... that RSS Panglima (pictured) was the first ship of the Republic of Singapore Navy?

While the article is nice, I have trouble verifying the hook's claim. It is in the lead - but uncited. And in the text it is not clearly cited; there's the sentence "On 9 August 1965, Singapore separated from Malaysia to form a sovereign republic. KD Panglima was the first of three ships to be handed over to Singapore", but it is referenced to a webpage that doesn't look very reliable: [1]. Can we get a more reliable source for the claim here (or an explanation why this webpage is reliable)? Other than that, date, seize, copyvio spotcheck, QPQ review, etc. are ok. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:52, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
- Piotrus, thank you for the review, and thank you to A. C. Santacruz for the nomination. I have added a new source accordingly to verify it's the first ship. It may be found in the photo caption "RSS Panglima, the navy's first vessel" within the article. Seloloving (talk) 06:03, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
Looks good, AGFing that https://www.todayonline.com/ (Today Online) is a RS (seems fine as a major Singaporian newspaper/portal). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:07, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
